MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — When the Minnesota State Fair gets underway in 10 days, the new Princess Kay of the Milky Way will spend the first few hours of her reign in a cooler, getting her head carved in butter.

So what happens to those sculptures after the fair?

This year’s Princess Kay, Mary Zahurones, has invited everyone to a corn feed at the family farm in Pierz, where her butter head will be melted for corn-dipping. She says some previous Princess Kays have kept their heads.

“Some Princess Kays like to hold on to theirs — keep them in the freezer — and especially if they have younger siblings that aspire to become Princess Kay. Then they really like to keep their butter heads and have multiples in the freezer at a time,” said Zahurones.
